In the press

The nose is shy and subtle, though notions of red apple, peppery rye crumb, stone and lemon emerge with more air. Tightly coiled, the palate suggests spicy riches with its insinuations of white pepper and tangerine peel. A lovely interplay of Pinot richness and Chardonnay slinkiness, showing depth, svelteness and elegance. It justs needs air to breathe. Gorgeous. Drinking Window 2020 - 2030

Tasting note

Dry, elegant Champagne from Taittinger, scented with elderflower and cinnamon, with peaches in syrup balanced by citrus in the mouth, which doesn't veer into overt sweetness.

Vinification

A Grands Crus Champagne, sourced from 100% Champagne-classified vineyards, uses exclusively cuvée (first pressing). It's 50% Chardonnay from Côte des Blancs (Avize, Le Mesnil sur Oger) and 50% Pinot Noir from Montagne de Reims (Bouzy, Ambonnay). This cellar-aged gem showcases fine, delicate aromas.

Food Match

This wine can be enjoyed as an aperitif and as a delicious accompaniment to grilled fish and seafood.
